Chapter 405 The Internet Forgets

Skylar was taken aback by Elspeth's words. She couldn't say anything and only smiled to please her. On the other hand, Agnes hesitated momentarily and tried to say something, but Elspeth stopped her with a glance.

"Okay. It's settled, then. For this advertisement, I'm thinking of shooting it in another two days. Be prepared, guys." Elspeth looked at Agnes. "Also, you should create an account to gain popularity soon."

Agnes nodded. For the past few days, she had been busy learning all kinds of photography techniques and had no time to create an account. Now that she had nothing much to do, she could start working on this.

After that, Agnes went back to her place. She hesitated for a second before opening a new account. She had an account before this, but she was an actress back then and had fewer followers. However, since she had good acting skills and was hardworking, she gained a group of loyal fans.

Looking at the account she cherished so much, Agnes braced herself and deleted it. Then, she chose a few photos and made them into a video before posting them on her newly-created account.

Two hours later, her phone began to ring. At first, Agnes assumed someone was spamming her with messages. Plus, she was busy, so she put it on silent mode. However, when she unlocked her phone, she was shocked by what she saw.

Her video had gained over a hundred million likes within two hours. Moreover, all of the comments were appraised.

'Damn, this is a new account.'

'I love pretty women. She's gorgeous, and her body is so pretty. I love her so much. Will you marry me, pretty woman?"

'I am shy in society but brave on the internet. This is my woman! Don't you guys dare snatch her away from me!'

'This is the 1,800th time I have met the woman whom I want to protect at my most vulnerable age.'

'After being chronically online for the longest time, I've become hopelessly delusional. Hello, my dear wife.'

'You guys only see her for her looks. Have any of you noticed that she used to be an actress?'

'Agnes! I know her! I loved watching all the films she's been in. Although she didn't have many scenes, she put a lot of hard work into it!'

…

As Agnes scrolled through the comments, she couldn't help but giggle. They are so fun to read, she thought.

However, a new comment soon appeared at the top.

'Can't you guys see that she looks just like Skylar?'

Immediately, the netizens began debating over this.

Agnes knew that such a thing would happen. As she waited for the comments to go on, she saw someone compare her looks with Skylar's. In the end, they felt that the duo indeed looked similar. However, they only looked alike, and their demeanor was vastly different.

'It's clear that she is imitating Skylar. Since Skylar has many followers, she's using her looks to gain followers. Such a scheming woman.' The comment criticized Agnes harshly, raking her into the mud.

'I think that's overboard. Skylar's videos are cute and innocent. She acts cute in front of the camera, while Agnes acts cool and sexy. I mean, look at her waist. Damn, even I wouldn't dare to photoshop my waist like that.' This comment wasn't defending her and was more of an analysis. However, people quickly refuted it.

'Explain this yourself, Agnes!'

Seeing that the person was persistent, Agnes was furious. Just as she was about to reply to the comment, she felt someone closing in on her.

"What's wrong, Agnes? You seem upset." Skylar had a cup of coffee in her hand while she smiled gently, looking innocent.

"It's nothing." Agnes quickly kept her phone away. However, Skylar didn't miss out on what she was doing.

"I saw the video you just posted on your new account. It's going viral. It reminds me of the time I posted my first video. I only had a few thousand likes." Although Skylar had a smile on her face, she was jealous of Agnes.

She is pretty dang lucky; even the algorithm is helping her. It's a good thing I bribed someone to belittle her in the comments section. It should be working now. After this, even if Agnes rises to fame, the netizens will still hate her.

Although Skylar was complimenting her, Agnes could still hear the sarcasm in her tone. "Thank you, Skylar."

"However, the comment section doesn't look friendly. It's normal for them to misunderstand since I am more famous than you. Don't worry about it, though. I'll make a statement about this once the hype surrounding your video dies down," said Skylar as she patted Agnes on the shoulder, her eyes cold.

When Agnes saw the stiff smile on her face, she glared at her and said, "Don't worry. I don't mind this. As you said, this is a misunderstanding. As such, the truth will soon be revealed. I won't be devastated because of this."

"Well, since you are so confident in yourself, I will support you," replied Skylar as she thought, What a reckless person. She shouldn't be underestimating the power that netizens hold.

After Skylar responded to Agnes, she looked at her arrogantly and left.

Truthfully, Agnes was not confident about this. This was the first time she had been cyberbullied. After all, she wasn't a well-known actress in the past, so no one would deliberately frame her.

However, things were different now. Elspeth had helped her get into the company, and it was only natural that Skylar loathed her. When this incident occurred, she immediately realized it was Skylar's doing, even though she didn't think anyone would have ill intentions toward her.

While she was worrying about this, she got a phone call from Elspeth's office.

Seeing that Elspeth had called her, Agnes felt at ease.

"Hello, Miss Lynwood. What's the matter?"

"I have seen the comments. Is everybody shaming you?"

Agnes nodded and replied, "Yes. However…"

Before she could finish her words, Elspeth cut her off and said firmly, "It's fine. Let them do it."

When Agnes heard her words, she was baffled. "Wouldn't my reputation be ruined if they keep up with this?"

On the other end of the phone, Elspeth's voice was ruthless. "Don't worry, I will fix this. You must know that the internet always forgets."
